说明

在否定词 + so/such... but (that) 句型中, but that 从句也可以看作是结果状语从句。其中的 but (that) = that... not (见 but that):

  1. No one is so old but he may learn. 不管多老都可以学习(活到老学到老)。

  2. No task is so difficult but we can accomplish it. 没有什么任务困难得是我们不能完成的。

  3. I am not such a fool but that I understand you. 我绝不会蠢得连你都不了解。

H. with the result that(从结构上看, with the result that 是个介词 + 名词 + 定语从句的结构,但是它起着从属连词的作用):

  1. I was in the bath, with the result that I didn't hear the telephone. 我在洗澡,所以没听见电话铃声。

  2. Both parents were working, with the result that (= this meant that) their children were cared for by their grandparents. 父母都参加了工作,所以他们的孩子们由祖父母照看。

[附注]A. 如同不与副词、形容词连用的 so 表示程度很高一样, 不与形容词连用的 such 也是表示程度很高的意思, 因此, 单独使用的 such 不能按字面简单地译为“这样的”:

  1. His bad behaviour was such that he angered everyone. 他的行为糟透了,以致把大家都激怒了。

  2. The crowd was such that we couldn't see a thing. 人群挤得水泄不通,我们什么也看不到。

  3. His courage is such that he does not know the meaning of fear. 他非常勇敢,以致不知道什么是恐惧。

B. 结果状语从句, 省略连词 that 时, 一般用逗号与主句分开, 但是, 不用逗号的实例也并不罕见, 如上面的某些例句。
